Strengths: Fits pretty well, breaths, doesn't really get stinky after a ride, and offers decent protection without being bulkyWeaknesses: Fingers may be a bit short for the size sm (8")Bottom Line: Two rides on them and I've managed to blow holes through the end of the fingers. My nails aren't long or sharp...
I think they simply need to design it better for 1-finger braking. Not sure how long it would've held up. My Fox Digits are just starting to tear after half a year or so.
All is not a waste since I got a laugh at the 6" long tags on the side that shows what the glove is made out of in over 20 different languages.

Strengths: Fit, Style, Venting,Weaknesses: Velcro cuff catches on terry wipe and lycra panelsBottom Line: I really like this glove. First off, the tack of the palm is really nice. Second, they look the dogs bollocks. Third, they fit nicely--true to size. They breathe well too-- great for all-mountain jaunts.

Strengths: light, good feel on the bars, not too padded that you can't feel anything, breathes well, also they don't stink even without wash for a couple of rides.Weaknesses: terry cloth on the thumb part could be something better, but hey, it's at a bargain...Bottom Line: can't beat the quality at such a price, plus it comes in waaaay too many color options...
btw the 08 ones look even better! get 1 size up for the 08s though, i tried the XL and it was like the L of the 07...

Strengths: Look nice, mine never fell apart (unlike the other reviews!)Weaknesses: The velcro catches on the finger material sometimes and pulls it apart abitBottom Line: Bough these as abit of a change from Specialized gloves I usually buy, similar price and look nice. Used mine for about a year now and they are just beginning to fall apart abit. But hey, they were cheap and they've taken abit of a hiding over the past year, will probably go back to specialized or similar next time.

from Lake Elsinore, CA USADate Reviewed: October 3, 2006
Strengths: Features for the priceWeaknesses: Sketchy construction, velcro sticks to finger material and pulls it apart.Bottom Line: Like someone else said, look them over before you buy. So far they have been comfortable and have not destroyed themselves, but the finger material gets stuck on the velcro when puting them on and pulls it apart. Just be careful. Overall not particularly impressed or dissatisfied.

Strengths: looks cool, breathes goodWeaknesses: weak, uncomfortable, get dirty easilyBottom Line: When I first got these glove they looked really cool but did fit good. After a while they wore in and started to fit better. They got really dirty quickly. One day I looked down and they had a whole in them and they where less that a month old. I wouldnt suggest these glove to any one unless your on a big budget. Spend $15 and get some gloves that actually work.

Strengths: They look nice, the top side of the glove is toughWeaknesses: The side you actually use is about as strong as a wet paper towel. Within 1 month these thing started shredding, they are useless. I am very disappointed in 661Bottom Line: Even if the price looks good, don't consider any glove from 661, they are trash.

Strengths: Very comfortable, great fit, looks nice. Not too hot for full fingered gloves.Weaknesses: 4 seams started coming apart during my first and only ride with these gloves. Bummer.Bottom Line: Give these gloves a serious looking over before buying. Seems like there must be some quality control issues in the factory in China or wherever. Maybe I just got a bad pair. I would have given 5 Chilis had the seams stayed together.
